Alakazam Soloing Misty

Someone once told me Alakazam couldn't solo Misty as he was 3HKOd by Starmie's Bubblebeam (in pokemon Blue, Red and Yellow). However, I have run this battle four times, and without using items I have won it all of those times. Simply put, Thunder Wave on Alakazam allows him to paralyze every pokemon he may have trouble with (Exeggutor, Jynx, Starmie) and score victory from his sheer power and critical hit ratio.

I don't know who said misty couldn't be solo'd by alakazam. People can solo the entire game with a weedle. :/ Hahaha, anyway looking forward to more pokemon black nuzlocke, the last one was intense.

Yeah, we were discussing it on the Smogon forums, and it was mentioned that Alakazam has trouble because Starmie resists Confusion (40BP) and hits back with neutral bubblebeam (65bp). There are also things that can't solo (Hitmonlee can't ever hit ghosts).

The nuzlocke has been delayed a small time because I recently got a full-time job, but I'll be getting a new video out to you guys soon. :)
